Oxford University Department for Continuing Education’s new programme of short courses for the historic environment is now underway for 2019 at Rewley House. Short details of the courses are set out below, each with a link to the individual course web page. Full details of all courses can be found here.

These short practical courses are designed to provide training in key skills and concepts for archaeologists and built heritage professionals. Our course directors and tutors are leading professionals who offer expertise and insights drawn from many years of working experience.

The programme is endorsed by CIfA, the IHBC and FAME, and has been developed in conjunction with leading heritage practices. Courses are linked to the National Occupational Standards for Archaeology, and for Town Planning, Conservation and Building Control, and are widely accepted for continuous professional development. Details of National Occupational Standards links can be found on the course web pages.

Short details of the programme:

Archaeological survey using airborne lidar is a technique that has been added to the toolbox of the archaeological surveyor, and when used in the appropriate circumstances it can reveal archaeological remains in exceptional detail. This course informs historic environment professionals of the potential and practical use of lidar data and lidar-derived imagery for research and heritage management.

The course is designed for a professional audience, particularly those who are currently involved in research, fieldwork and the planning process and who are aware of lidar, but have little or no practical experience with its use.

Course Director: Simon Crutchley, Remote Sensing Development Mgr, Historic Places Investigation South and West, Historic England

Tutor: Peter Crow, Project Manager, Historic Environment, Forest Research
